Even looking at the original post, it sounds a lot like she's calling voters racist and stupid. If you say the arguments being made are racist and stupid, there is a clear implication the people are also racist and stupid.

No there isn't. You even said this yourself earlier:

Debate the point, not the person.

First you claim arguments can and should be separated from the people making them, and now you claim the opposite. You're completely full of shit.

The point is that she implied everyone who disagrees with her is racist and stupid. That's what we're debating.

You've only attempted to make one point in this thread and you just contradicted yourself on it. So congratulations on "debating" yourself, I guess.

I've got no idea what you're on about, to be honest.
